Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) plans to commission 14 GWh of battery energy storage capacity at its Khavda renewable energy project in Gujarat by the end of fiscal year 2026-27, a move aimed at reducing renewable energy curtailment and improving the utilization of clean power generation.
The battery energy storage systems (BESS) will support the company’s ongoing development of the Khavda renewable energy park, one of the world’s largest clean energy projects. The storage capacity is expected to help address the intermittency challenges associated with solar and wind generation while enabling excess renewable energy to be stored and supplied during periods of high demand.
According to the company, the deployment of large-scale battery storage infrastructure will play a crucial role in minimizing clean energy wastage and enhancing grid reliability as renewable energy penetration continues to increase across India.
The Khavda renewable energy project is a key component of Adani Green’s long-term growth strategy and India’s broader energy transition agenda. Once fully operational, the integrated solar, wind and energy storage complex is expected to significantly contribute to the country’s renewable energy capacity expansion and decarbonization objectives.
The company continues to accelerate capacity additions at the Khavda site, where large-scale solar and wind installations are being developed alongside transmission infrastructure and energy storage systems. The addition of 14 GWh of battery storage is expected to strengthen the project’s ability to deliver round-the-clock renewable power and support grid stability.
The development comes as India increasingly focuses on energy storage deployment to facilitate higher integration of renewable energy into the national power system and meet its long-term clean energy targets.
